NFS 2016’s official system specs are now released. You will need a mid to top end PC to get this Need For Speed Reboot running on Recommended. The Nvidia GTX 970 coupled with a core i5 and 8GB RAM will be enough, or a Phenom II X4 with the AMD R9 290.

Since Joomla! 3.5 a statistics plugin will submit anonymous data to the Joomla Project. This will only submit the Joomla version, PHP version, database engine and version, and server operating system.

This data is collected to ensure that future versions of Joomla can take advantage of the latest database and PHP features without effecting significant numbers of users. The need for this became clear when a minimum of PHP 5.3.10 was required when Joomla! 3.3 implemented the more secure Bcrypt passwords.

In the interest of full transparency and to help developers this data is publicly available. An API and graphs will show the Joomla version, PHP versions and database engines in use.

If you do not wish to provide the Joomla Project with this information you can disable the plugin called System – Joomla Statistics.

HAMR (heat assisted magnetic recording), uses a laser on the hard drive read/write head to set smaller bits more securely in place on a drive’s spinning platter compared to traditional perpendicular magnetic recording. HAMR technology will eventually enable Seagate to achieve a linear bit density of around 10 trillion (10Tbits) per square inch, 10 times higher than today’s best HDD areal density of about 1Tbit per square inch. So far, Seagate has demonstrated a HAMR HDD with an areal density of 1.4Tbits per square inch.
